Tour de France for London in 2007?

Tour organiser Jean-Marie Leblanc has been in London this week for the press conference launching the Paris-London 'race', reported by BikeBiz.com last week. Leblanc also brought with him a delegation from ASO, the Tour's organising company, fuelling speculation that ASO has chosen London for a Tour start in 2007, trumping Lugano, Florence and Rotterdam, and pleasing Olympics-fixated Ken Livingstone, London's mayor.
